Pocahontas - Dennis Sidney Cooper, 68, of Pocahontas passed away Sunday, August 25, 2019 at Arkansas Continued Care Hospital in Jonesboro.

Dennis was born on March 17, 1951 in Pocahontas, AR to the late Buel and Marie Bellah Cooper. He worked for the City of Pocahontas for over 30 years and was a retired firefighter.
